What It Is

See Who's There Before You Answer

A video intercom pairs a door-mounted camera and speaker with an indoor screen or mobile app, so you can see and talk to whoever's at the gate or main door before deciding to let them in — a simple but genuinely useful layer of everyday security.

Where It Fits

Built for Different Property Types

A landed home and a multi-tenant apartment building need genuinely different intercom setups — here's how we approach each.

Landed Homes

A single door station at the gate or main door, paired with one indoor unit or the household's phones. The simplest and most common setup we install.

Condos & Apartments

Multi-tenant systems where a visitor selects a unit number at the main entrance station, and that specific unit answers on their own indoor unit or phone.

Offices & Small Business

A front-desk or entrance station connected to reception or management, often integrated with door access for a controlled staff/visitor entry point.

System Types

2-Wire vs IP-Based Systems

Two-wire analog intercom systems run on a simple two-conductor cable between the door station and indoor unit — straightforward to install and reliable for single-family homes. IP-based systems connect over your network instead, which suits larger properties or multi-unit buildings where several indoor units, phones, or a management office all need to see the same door station.

We'll recommend the right type during your site survey based on your property size, number of answering points needed, and whether app-based remote answering matters to you.

Which One Do You Need?

2-wire: one home, one or two indoor units
IP-based: multiple units, remote app answering, or integration with other network systems

Our Approach

Wired In Cleanly, Connected Properly

We plan the cable route from door station to indoor unit (or network connection for app-based systems) during the site survey, so wiring stays concealed. Where you want it, we integrate the intercom with your autogate or electric door lock, so you can release access after seeing who's there.

FAQ

Video Intercom Questions

Can video intercom connect to my phone instead of an indoor screen?

Yes — most systems we install support both an indoor screen and a mobile app, so you can answer the door from your phone whether you're home or away.

Can the intercom open the gate or door automatically?

Yes, where compatible — we can integrate video intercom with autogate or electric door-strike systems so you can release the gate or door remotely after seeing who's there.

Does video intercom need special wiring?

It needs a cable run from the entrance door station to the indoor unit (or a network connection for app-based systems). We plan the cable route during the site survey so it's concealed and doesn't require major rework.

Is video intercom worth it if I already have CCTV?

CCTV records footage; video intercom lets you actively see and speak with a visitor before deciding whether to open the door. Many homes and offices run both together — CCTV for overall coverage, intercom specifically at the entrance.

Can one entrance station serve multiple units, like in an apartment building?

Yes — this is standard for condos and apartments. A visitor selects the unit number at the main entrance station, and only that unit's indoor unit or phone rings, keeping each household's intercom private.

What happens if the power goes out?

Most indoor units and door stations are low-voltage and can be paired with a small backup power supply if uninterrupted operation matters to you — we'll discuss this during the site survey if it's a concern for your property.
